Starting July 23, 2012: Citywide Sports Slo-Pitch's operations will be no more. The existing slo-pitch operations (starting with the upcoming 2012 fall ball season) will be transferred to the VCS League (www.vcsleague.com). Due to pressing career demands and living away from where we played (Burnaby/Vancouver area), I could no longer provide the time and efforts required to continue making things go.

A huge thanks to all teams, players, umpires, and the entire staff at Softball City for this past weekend. Congratulations to the following teams and their players for their achievements this past weekend:

CITYWIDE SPORTS SLO-PITCH (1996-2012) - A SINCERE THANKS TO ALL

As I close out this past 2012 Spring/Summer Slo-Pitch Season, it has been quite a run. Starting in 1996 with 7 teams, we expanded to a high of 30 teams during the 2010 season. In 2007, we started our 1st Fall Ball season with 14 teams, reaching a high of 25 teams in 2010. Since then, we have held steady with 25 teams for our Spring/Summer Season, and 19 teams for our Fall Season. I do believe that Citywide Sports was the first SPN sanctioned league to offer a fall season in the Vancouver/Burnaby areas.

All of this (not only now, but in the past) is due to many key persons who I have had the privilege to know and work with at some point over time 1996-2012). In no particular order, I sincerely thank the following (I hope I didn't miss many. If I did, it wasn't intentional):

PARKS, RECREATION, & CULTURE OFFICES (Past and Present): City of Vancouver; City of Burnaby; City of New Westminster; City of Surrey; Softball City

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY: To all teams, players, team managers, umpires (past and present) who have ever played and/or umpired in the League.

As they say in show biz, "If there's no audience, there ain't no show". I thank you again, and will see you somewhere (on the ball field, in a tournament, at a concert, at a sporting event, etc.). Citywide Sports & Activities Club Inc. will continue on (just no more slo-pitch leagues). I am truly grateful for all the good times that I personally experienced; and the personal/management skils that I have been able to develop and utilize in all areas of my personal life. I thank the many persons (listed above) who taught me the right (correct) things to do throughout this journey.
